I want to paint the rest of my days with the best colors.
― Debasish Mridha
Ritva asks us to select one color (excluding black and white), and share a maximum of 6 photos where our chosen color is the prominent hue, or alternatively, you may share one photo featuring each of the following captivating colors in their various shades: red, blue, green, purple, orange, and yellow.
I am cheating…I hope Ritva forgives me for choosing my favourite colours only – but in 6 photos!
Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.
– Pedro Calderón de la Barca
There is no doubt that green is my favourite colour. To me, spring brings life back to us, revitalising, we are bathing in Mother Nature’s lush greenery. I am surrounded by green in my garden, in my home, in my daily forest walks.
In fact, I am beginning to wonder how I will survive a move to a place without a garden…Hopefully in the far future.
”How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.”
– Vincent van Gogh
Yellow and orange are lively and uplifting colours. If I tweak it a bit, there is a hint of red here as well. This yellow foxtail lily shines intensely in the shadow of a tree.
A certain blue enters your soul
– Henri Matisse
We have blue all around us on this planet Earth…every season has its own shade or tint. Ice on my glass house windows shows spectacular patterns.
All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul—when you look at it, it’s looking back at you.
— Uniek Swain
Purple – irresistible Wisteria! Our visit to Japan made me plant four new Wisterias in my garden.
A big thank you to Anne for the Texture challenge last week! The diversity in your posts provided us with both inspiration and awe – I felt like going out with my camera for even more textures… Next week, it will be Egídio’s turn to lead us, so be sure to visit his beautiful site for more creative ideas.
Until then – stay well and be kind.

I just love the first image … gorgeous green! But there is something very special with the purple image …
Thank you, those are my favourites.
Blue and purples are my favorites here.
Thank you, Rebecca!
All of your colours are so supremely rich and saturated. Beautiful photos…
Happy you liked them!
Such a heavenly set of colours!
💙💚💛💜
I was in awe of the green in the first image. LOVE it. Soothing to the soul. The orange is oft and vibrant at the same time. I am happy to say, in all honesty I love them all Ann-Christine. The clarity and quality of photography always is so good in your photos and I appreciate your skill
These are all gorgeous Ann-Christine and the way you captured the wisteria is truly magical 💜 xxx
❤️
These are wonderful
Thank you Karina!
Fantastic gallery! You and I shared green, but there’s one more thing: you opened your post with the same quote I used in mine to close my gallery.
Haha – I will start looking tonight! How great minds…
Ann-Christine, I love your collection of colors. The images are all stunning but my favorite is the blue ice.
Chilly but – glad it’s your favourite!
Gorgeous
Thanks, Sheree!
I’m sure you are forgiven, Ann-Christine for your photos are so beautiful. You know my favourite is your last one, it brought some light into a very dark and wet day here in Glasgow.
Thank you, Sofia! Dark and wet! Hope it’s getting brighter now. Today we finally could go out without wearing our winter coats. a very cold and dry spring here, we’re short for water everywhere.
It has been a strange Spring, even for us here.
Wonderful photos for the challenge, Ann-Christine! Such beautiful colors, That cool blue and the violet closer are stunning!
Glad you enjoyed, John! Thank you!
Marvellous. So glad you gave us one-of-each in your choices.
Thank you! I have sent a reply to your message!
👍😊
huge smile Tell me where the waterfalls are and I’ll call my genie to take me to the green . . . !
Dear Eha, they are in the island of Flores in the Azores archipelago! ♥
I enjoyed your choices. 👏
Verdant green….my choice
Then there are two of us!
You show off the colours beautifully with your photos!
♥ Thank you very much!
All beautiful images but the blue is absolutely amazing. Until I read your caption I thought it might be an extreme close up of a plant. Maybe feathers? Fabric? Ice. Amazing for someone who doesn’t ever see ice on windows.
Thank you, Paul! We seldom have those ”ice roses” as we call them. But, once a year maybe!
What lovely and soothing images and choices Ann-Christine. I especially like the green hillside, wisteria, and flowers.
Thank you, Brad – happy you liked them! I love it that you found them soothing – I aimed that way. Now I know it went all right.
Lovely. The second green abstract image is my favourite, though the wisteria curtain is also spellbinding.
Thanks, Jude – it seems the abstract is leading!
Oh, that wisteria. I just wish I could smell it. Green is one of my favorite colors also. It’s a hard color to wear, though, because there’re so many different kinds of green that you can’t pair them very well usually.
Thank you – and I know what you mean about different greens. I like wearing green, but alwais aim for the warmer variety.
Well Ann-Christine, why am I not surprised at how wonderful your post is when the subject is color?! Of course I loved every image but the wisteria is just spectacular. Also really loved your second green image and the beautiful ice (which I’d rather see online than in my yard!! Marvelous response.
Thank you, Tina!I knew you would like an online version better of the ice…so I posted that one as well!
Spectacularly beautiful! pp
Thank you so much!
The purple curtain is exquisite, Ann-Christine, but the one that knocked my socks off is the orange/yellow lily. A fantastic photo! xx
Thanks, Jo – I would like to have those lilies in my garden…
